Jerry Sandusky's slim chance for appeal hurt by decision to send him to supermax prison -

On Wednesday, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania did Sandusky no such favors, provided no such comforts and showed no such signs that that it sees any merit in any of his expected appeals.

The 68-year-old was transferred to SCI-Greene in Waynesburg, the far southwest corner of the state and a 181-mile drive from State College. Only a couple of other facilities are located further from Sandusky's home and even then by only a few miles.

The man who haunted central Pennsylvania by abusing at least 10 boys over a 15-year period is unlikely to ever see the rolling hills of the Happy Valley again.
